The Lycan’s Contract Mate

“You do not speak to me in that tune young lady, you show respect and you talk with class,”

My dad said and I couldn’t for the life of mine come to the reason why he thought he could tell me those things, he didn’t raise me, didn’t teach me how to properly behave, he literally didn’t do anything other than spend money for me to be out of his presence.

“What to do dad, I don’t know what respect is, maybe I would have known if you had taught it to me, shame it is too late now,”

I let out.

“You will learn,”

He said, the fact that he didn’t even offer for me to sit down, the man was self-centered, I realized how pointless it has been wishing that he would at least love and acknowledge me, I realize now that he would never do any of that and for some reason, it didn’t feel foreign to me, maybe I accepted it without realizing.

“Why did you call for me papa?”

I asked when he didn’t say a word for nearly five minutes, he was just glancing at his phone and totally ignoring me.

“You graduated medical school and it is time to move back home and settle down, I already made preparations for that, hospital built and all you have to do is move back here and take charge, while at that, you find a suitable man to get married to or I will find one for you,”

My dad said and as each word proceeded out of his mouth, I could feel anger boil inside me.

“What? Why do you think I will do that!”

I asked, in anger and shock, I knew my dad was wild but for him to just decide how I would live my life and just pass it on to me in such a demeaning manner? I wasn’t going to take it, I enjoy being a doctor, and I love helping sick people but that’s it, I had no interest in owing a hospital or managing one, especially not one by my father, that would be his new way to trap me and make me feel worthless.

“This is not a matter to be discussed, I made the arrangements and you are to do as I say, a lot of people would kill to have the opportunity that you have,”

My father said.

“Yeah, thankfully I am not a lot of people papa,”

I responded.

“You speak to me with respect young lady,”

He warned again but I wasn’t about to listen to him.

“I don’t think respect is the issue here, the issue here is that you are trying to run my life for me, and I am not going to sit back and let you do that, I am an adult woman papa, one who has lived alone and knows her independence,”

I let out.

“Did I say anything about not being independent? I am giving you a quick pass because you are my daughter,”

He said and I just had to laugh, what? He called me his child? Well, I never felt like one.

“It is news to me that you consider me your child, thank you for the offer but I don’t want it,”

“It is not in your place to want it or not, get started in the hospital and get a husband,”

He instructed and I lost my cool.

“I am not going to do as you say dad, the only reason I am in this place is because of Winrose, once her wedding is done, I am out of here, why do you suddenly want me here? You drove me away remember? Why are you suddenly interested in my life? What? A husband? Do you think you are the person to tell me that? That’s my decision to make not yours,”

I yelled out every word, frustrated by how he thought he would order me and I would happily obey, eight years ago I would have but now? Never, my father had no such hold over me, not when he spent all my life hating me for something that is not my fault.

“I have told you, Barrie, it is not a matter to be discussed,”

The nasty old man who fathered me sounded, he really did think if he speak so authoritatively I would listen. The more he talked, the more I want to do the opposite.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“And I am going to say this just once and never again, George Embry, I am not going to do as you say, I am a grown woman who can make decisions for my life and I am not about to let a man who has hated me since the day I was born tell me what to do,”

I responded, making sure each word was spoken with enough confidence and class, I could tell by the look on his face that he had not expected me to repel against him so much, to go as calling him by his name.

“Then consider yourself not my daughter and not part of the Embry family,”

He let out.

“I have never been part of your family papa, never once have I felt that I am part of this family, you wanna make it official? Then go the fuck ahead, I won’t stop you, I am done with this conversation,”

I said and walked out of the room, I walked to my room and packed up my clothes, I decided I won’t stay even a moment in the house any more, I was done a few moments later and I got one of the helps to help me call a cab, it didn’t take long for it to arrive, the driver wasn’t allowed into the mansion so I had to pack my stuff and meet him up at the gate, I didn’t mind, I got back to Winrose house and she didn’t ask any questions when she saw me with my bags, she only instructed for the helps to take into the guest room I was using, I didn’t tell her about what my dad said as I didn’t want her to add worrying about me to her already stressful wedding preparation,
